Out of shape & lazy Options

[amysmojo]

Everyday I tell myself I want to start working out. But I never do! I always come home from work & get online or watch TV...& spend the rest of my evening doing nothing! Ya...no good! So here is what I was thinking...if your like me & need motivation to work out, maybe we can motivate each other. Whether you like to run, or walk etc. Lets keep track of it & see who can get the most mileage Since you all like to compete I figured this would be a good place to do it. Here is a chart of conversions so you can keep track of your miles:

walk 1 mile = 1 mile (duh)
run 1 mile = 1 mile (duh)
bike 1 mile = 1/4 mile
swim 1 mile = 4 miles
Rollerblade 1 mile = 1/2 mile

So who wants in on this? Come on I need motivation! It would start today & everyone starts with ZERO miles. We can post our progress as we go & see who can get the most "miles"

Its just an idea I had, if no one wants to do it then uhhh never mind I'll do it alone you lazy bastards

I actually finally found a diet that made me drop the pounds!!

I lost about 30lbs in just over 2 weeks....

I started it all off with a bad case of appendicitis. Being the dedicated dieter I am, I let this sit around for a few days until the appendix ruptured.
Now, Im no pussy, so I waited around to be sure all of the poison in my system was filling me nicely before I went to the ER.
Once in the ER I made sure to confuse the doc by saying that I had bad stomach pains... I mean. I didnt want them to find the real problem too quick and ruin my diet.
After about 12 hours of a ruptured appendix and a nice heavy case of peritonitis I felt it was time to let them cut me open.

The infection and poison made sure that I would not be eating any food for 7 days and then only liquid for another 7.

2 weeks later.. I went from about 245lbs. to 212 lbs.

I know this is probably considered an "Extreme" diet.... but you cant argue with results!


unfortunately.... it was mostly muscle.... hehe

Hopefully by may or june I will be healed up enough to go back to the gym and get some of that muscle back....
